Product Overview

Xanthate series is the most commonly used collector in sulfide ore flotation, mainly including ethyl xanthate, butyl xanthate, amyl xanthate, etc. These reagents can effectively adsorb on the surface of sulfide minerals, improve their hydrophobicity, and achieve efficient separation.

  • High-Efficiency Collection - Excellent collection ability for copper, lead, zinc and other sulfide ores
  • Wide Application Range - Suitable for various sulfide ore flotation processes
  • Cost-effective - Low dosage, significant effect, economical and practical

Main Product Types

  • Ethyl Xanthate (EX) - Suitable for copper, lead, zinc and other non-ferrous metal sulfide ores
  • Butyl Xanthate (BX) - Strong collection ability, suitable for complex polymetallic sulfide ores
  • Amyl Xanthate (PX) - Good selectivity, suitable for copper-molybdenum separation
  • Isopropyl Xanthate (IPX) - Good stability, suitable for low temperature conditions

Application Cases

Copper Ore Flotation

After using butyl xanthate, a large copper mine increased copper recovery rate to 92%, concentrate grade reached 25%

Lead-Zinc Separation

In lead-zinc polymetallic ores, effective separation of lead and zinc was achieved by optimizing xanthate dosage

Complex Sulfide Ore

For complex sulfide ores containing arsenic and antimony, composite xanthate formula was adopted to improve metal recovery rate
